Programme information

International and European Tax Law focuses on corporate taxation and international tax planning. Its multidisciplinary approach combines tax law, European law, business and politics. The programme is for students with a bachelor’s in financial law, economics, business administration or a related field. Students gain insight into the interdependence of corporate structures, investment, cross-border employment and tax law.


Tax law forms the core of the programme. A broad range of economic, legal and social topics are discussed from the perspective of  international and European tax law. Students gain a hands-on approach by discussing and solving real-life tax problems and cases.

The master’s programme in International and European Tax Law is an intensive, one-year programme taught entirely in English. This programme is part of our LLM in Tax Law programme. This programme is accessible to students from all over the world who have a basic knowledge of the tax system of their home country or country of previous studies. For students with a solid background in Dutch tax law our programme offers the possibility of taking an advanced Dutch course in corporation tax instead of a comparative course in corporate taxation in order to comply with the relevant requirements set by Dutch professional organisations.
